Beschreibung

Amelia is a novel written by Henry Fielding. Amelia is a domestic novel taking place largely in London during 1733. It describes the hardships suffered by a young couple newly married. Against her mother's wishes, Amelia marries Captain William Booth, a dashing young army officer. The couple run away to London. William is unjustly imprisoned in Newgate, and is subsequently seduced by Miss Matthews. During this time, it is revealed that Amelia was in a carriage accident and that her nose was ruined. Amelia resists the attentions paid to her by several men in William's absence and stays faithful to him. She forgives his transgression, but William soon draws them into trouble again as he accrues gambling debts trying to lift the couple out of poverty. He soon finds himself in debtors' prison. Amelia then discovers that she is her mother's heiress and, the debt being settled, William is released and the couple retires to the country.

    Detective Norman is out of retirement and back on the beat in a rainy Welsh seaside town. Llangwelli might be short on sunshine, but it’s certainly not short on murders . . . Norman may seem a bit old-fashioned, but he’s always willing to learn from his band of misfit recruits. 
     
    A battered body. A missing handbag. A false confession? 
     
    The call comes on Monday afternoon. About to demolish a row of derelict cottages, workmen discover a body in the bedroom of Number 9. A young woman, expensively dressed in designer clothes. It’s a mystery what she was doing there. 
     
    She’s been badly beaten. But with no handbag or phone to be found, her identity remains unknown. 
     
    Then an elderly man comes forward claiming to be the killer. 
     
    Case closed, it would appear. But there are things about the old man’s story that don’t add up. Detective Norman isn’t convinced. 
     
    Then a second body is discovered in a skip behind the cottages — and the case takes a disturbing new twist. 
     
    Norman and his team are in a race against time to uncover the truth before more bodies turn up. 
     
    This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

    Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
     
    Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
     
    In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
     
    These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

    As far as Declan Waterford is concerned, women are off limits-at least until he can earn enough money for his brother's surgery. The dueling piano gig at Vegas's Masquerade hotel barely pays enough . . . but if Declan can convince his boss to promote him, he'll be set. And the Senior VP of the hotel's gorgeous daughter might just be the "in" Declan needs. 
     
     
     
    Between drowning in mistakes at her editorial internship and fighting off her father's demands that she relocate to Vegas and join his hotel empire, Melody Sumner doesn't have time for love—or one-night stands with sexy Irish piano players—no matter how appetizing Declan is. But even though she knows he's only interested in her for one reason, the intense chemistry between them has her thinking dangerous thoughts . . . 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.

    When the Wallace family travels to a luxury game reserve in Zimbabwe hoping to reconnect, they expect peace, beauty, and maybe a bit of adventure. What they find is a centuries-old spirit with unfinished business—and a curse that doesn’t forget.
     
    Sacrilege: Curse of the Mbirwi is a chilling and emotional journey through ancestral vengeance, buried secrets, and the fierce reckoning that follows when the sacred is disturbed. After Dashon Wallace unknowingly desecrates a spiritual tomb, his family is thrust into a battle that is both physical and spiritual. As terrifying visions and inexplicable events unfold, they must confront more than just a supernatural force—they must face their own history, trauma, and guilt.
     
    Set against the richly textured backdrop of African mythology, this gripping novel blends psychological suspense with deep emotional truth. It’s a haunting reminder that what we bury—emotionally or spiritually—never truly disappears. It waits.
